no need really, i know that there are about 360,000 broadcast frames a day
being sent out onto the network, so ive just decided to multiply it by 64
bytes (giving me about 20meg a day broadcast traffic).

what is CAR?

doesn't RIP/OSPF rely on sending packets to class D addresses? how could i
kill these off?

does anyone know if the interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOutOctets oid includes
bytes that come from non-unicast frames?
